"...I am proud of my country."
Michelle Obama, wife of Presidential Candidate Barack Obama on 2/19/08
Although I'm listening to the apologists, VB Goudie included, for Michelle Obama, I also know that NO ONE in a competent campaign gives an "off the cuff speech". This was not a mis-speak by the ditzy wife of a Presidential candidate. This is the professinally written and officially approved text of a speech given ON PURPOSE. This is a belief held at the core of the Obama campaign. WE DO NOT LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF.
Maybe we could list for Barack some of the things that We are proud of:
1. Our national response to 9/11.
2. Our role in the non-military dissolution of the Soviet Union.
3. The fact that, in the last administration (Dubya), three minorities held top level Cabinet posts, Condy Rice, Colin Powell, and Alberto Gonzales
4. A Constitution that has lasted 225 years and has given us incredible freedoms compared to any other country on the planet.
Anyone else want to offer their "national pride"?
Maybe we can package them and send them to Michelle....and she can have more "hope".

Just your average guy, married to a woman who is incredibly smart and possibly more conservative than I am. Father of three and grandfather of one. Devoted Patriots fan and season ticket holder, snowmobile enthusiast and lifelong public servant.
